We are very pleased to announce that our team is growing! Welcoming Joseph Miller is bitter sweet for us at ARCCADD Architecture Inc. Bitter because he was only made available by the retirement of our good friend and colleague, David Goyer. We miss you David! Sweet because Joseph is an excellent asset to our team. Joseph comes to ARCCADD Architecture Inc. with a breadth of knowledge and experience that he gained in his 6 years working with David and is looking forward to joining the RAIC Syllabus Program with the goal of becoming an Architect.

Elite Safety Services provides customized safety training and standby services throughout Western Canada. In the Fall of 2014 Excel Design and Construction approached ARCCADD Architecture Inc. to design a new facility for Elite Safety Services, who was rapidly outgrowing their existing building.

Elite Safety Services required a new 12,500 square foot facility to conduct their safety training programs and administrative functions. Some of the highlights include: a tower for fall arrest and rope access training, specialized rooms for drug/alcohol and fitness testing, large seminar spaces and a large break-out room.

The balance of the facility includes executive offices, a flexible open office area, a staff fitness room, a staff lunch room and a large reception area designed to accommodate circulation for both of the main program elements of the building.

Completed in June 2016, the new Elite Safety Services facility was one of the first in Manitoba to be certified under the new Manitoba Energy Code for Buildings.

We are thrilled to give you a sneak peek at the progress Snow Spruce Construction has made on the new Reit-Syd Equipment Ltd. building! This project features a large showroom and parts area, a new Rec and Turf maintenance department, and a new shop area complete with overhead doors that can accommodate their largest agricultural equipment.

Congratulations to Mr. Aldrin Ferrer, winner of the 2016 Fil-Can Cabletow Lodge No. 189 Golf Tournament! All proceeds from this event will go to various bursaries and a scholarship for deserving Winnipeg high school students and to assist malnourished school children in the Philippines.

ARCCADD Architecture Inc. was pleased to sponsor the Fil-Can Cabletow Lodge No. 189 in it’s endeavour to enrich the community here in Winnipeg and in the Philippines, all while enjoying a great game of golf.

The shipping container, front entrance feature has arrived on site at the Manitoba Trucking Association! Still in primer, this twenty two foot high sea can was designed to punctuate the front entrance, adding an element of verticality to the large one story volume:

We are excited to see progress in the major renovation and addition of the existing Manitoba Trucking Association building! Their new space will include more offices and training spaces as they continue to grow their company and safety program.

The ARCCADD Architecture Inc. team members were given the challenge to build a model of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater out of LEGO. They were given sixty seconds with four inspiration images, then seven minutes to recreate the iconic home using only the LEGO from the LEGO Architecture Studio.

See the seamless transition between the interior and exterior spaces? Can’t you just feel the majesty of Bear Run as it meanders beneath the terraced house? Congrats to Julia for the winning build, as voted by the team!

This unseasonably mild Tuesday is begging for some beautiful residential trusses, wouldn’t you agree? Also a sneak peek of a custom home project. We are looking forward to featuring the finished product this coming spring.
